Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms over medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the mushroom-spinach mixture, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with the last 3 noodles, marinara sauce, and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade mushroom and spinach lasagna!
